HOLDER FOR cR'AvAi's OR TIES.

Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed March 18, 1905. Serial No. 250,884.

Patented March 13, 1906.

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ROBERT RIETHMfiL- LER, a subject of the German Emperor, and a resident of Hanover, in the Kingdom of Prussia and the Empire of Germany, have invented a new'and useful cravat-Holder, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a holder for cravats or neckties, which is particularly convenient for use with the so-called turn-down standup collars i. 0., those consisting of a stifi encircling double band the ends of the inner fold of which lap. and are provided with but- 7 tonholes, while those of the outer ones do not i meet.

It is often necessary to place the knot of the cravat or necktie over the front collarbutton or stud. In this position, however, the cravat or tie leaving the collar-button or stud uncovered, and therefore not capable of'firmly holding the cravat. This is es ecially the case with bows that are tied by tlib wearer, because the usual cravat-holders cannot be secured or 2 5 otherwise permanently attached thereto.

In the annexed drawings,- in which similar letters indicate similar parts, Figure 1 shows a collar with the improved cravat-holder in place. Fig. 2 shows the cravat-holder alone in full size.

The improved cravat-holder of this invention is constructed'ofa piece of wire or wires bent and attached so as to consist of two mainly parallel wires a I), slightly spaced 5 from one another and each having a semicircular bend at the middle, so as to offer for the rece tion of the collar-button or stud a near y circular opening. The wires a I) run is'liable to rise too high,

or stud, turned into a vertical position, and

drawn downward, so that the shank of the collar-button or stud is engaged between the Wires a b, as shown in Fig. 1. The cravat or tie is then put on, its knot tied in any desired manner, and it will be held from rising or falling by means of the points (1 engaging over and under it, respectively. In the case of cravats or ties the cravatholder can be engaged in the same manner with the back of the knot. In order to release such ready-made cravat or tie, the device is grasped with the fingers behind the arms a b and released from the button or stud by an upward ressure until the head of the button or stu ing a.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure byLett-ers Patent, is-

. A'cravat-holder comprising; two parallel spaced wires connected at the1r outer ends and curved outwardly from one another at their centers, the ends being turned back toward one another substantially as described and illustrated.

I In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribingwitnesses.
